CSNW Does Not Report Directory RestrictionsLast reviewed: March 24, 1997Article ID: Q152986 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSNetWare has the ability to restrict the space that a directory can occupy on a volume. This is not a volume level restriction and is not set on a per user basis. If a user connects to a NetWare server through Client Services for NetWare (CSNW), they will see the entire free space of the volume returned by File Manager and DIR, even if the directory they are viewing has been restricted.
CAUSEWindows NT does not support directory space restrictions.
WORKAROUNDIf the user connects directly to the directory in question, Windows NT will return the restricted size. For example:
Instead of: NET USE F: \\NWSERVER\SYS CD \APPS DIR Use: NET USE F: \\NWSERVER\SYS\APPS DIRThis will work as long as the volume is less than 2 gigabytes (GB) in size. If the volume is larger than 2 GB, Windows NT will still return the total free space.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51>. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
S E R V P A C KNetWare is manufactured by Novell, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product’s performance or reliability.
